On a chilly night in buttoned-up Edwardian London, Wendy Darling (
Rachel Hurd-Wood) mesmerizes her younger brothers with tales of swordplay, swashbuckling and Captain Hook, the legendary pirate who fears nothing but a ticking clock. But a clock is ticking for Wendy, too. Her father has decreed that it's time for her to grow up. After tonight, no more stories. She's to be groomed for womanhood and marriage by strict Aunt Millicent (
Lynn Redgrave). Unknown to the Darlings, Peter Pan (
Jeremy Sumpter) loves Wendy's stories, too, and travels a great distance to hear them. His appearance in their nursery that night, along with a jealous little fairy called Tinker Bell (
Ludivine Sagnier), triggers an awfully big adventure for Wendy and her brothers. Following him out the window like a small flock of birds, the children swoop over London's moonlit rooftops, through a galaxy of radiant planets and stars, to the magical Neverland, where they begin an exhilarating new life free of grown-up rules with Peter and the Lost Boys in their secret underground home.
Based on the classic story by J.
M. Barrie.
best peter pan adaptation
peter pan is one of my favourite stories of all time.
i have read the book more times than i can remember i have read the sequels and prequels to the original story.
i have seen all of the movies and i have to say this was one of my favourites.
so see it from the childs perspective and actually get emotionally attached to the characters even that of captain hook.
it was visually stunning and i have nothing bad to say about this movie.
i watch it on a weekly basis.
I first saw peter pan on starz. i liked it then. when i got it for christmas later that year i watched it a few times. now i have found a new liking for it. i dont mind the kissing....the i do believe in fairies part still slightly diminshes it, but i love he movie in all more than ever. it saddens me though that im now older than jeremy sumpter was as peter pan...i had a crush on him when he was older still...
